We’re sorry, your advert needs to be rebooted

Tube advert crash

If you’ve travelled on the London Underground recently, you might have seen the new video ad billboards they’re using in some of the bigger stations. This is what happens when one of them goes bad! (Click here to see it in full). A crash such as this is obviously not too much of a problem when the screen is small, but as display technology advances, and it’s used in more places, on a larger scale, we may have to get used to the idea of whole buildings turning from a piece of moving (literally) architecure into a gigantic BSOD, being able to watch a skyscraper churning through a restart, or seeing walls getting new firmware…

HA HA (In the style of Nelson) Installation costs not covered yet and already having to give money back to companies that have paid for the advertising space?

I saw an advertisement at Luton borked a couple of days ago. It wasn’t a BSOD, but it wasn’t a Windows error message either, so I guess they may have been using some other OS.

Anyway, obviously they were running loads of different screens off the one computer, resulting in an entire wall full of errors! *Grins*
